The appropriations in this section are provided for management and support of the marine transportation division of the department of transportation and for the operation and maintenance of the state ferry system.

The appropriations in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations:

(1) The appropriations are based on the budgeted expenditure of $15,525,251 for vessel operating fuel in the 1987-89 biennium. If the actual cost of fuel is less than this budgeted amount, the excess amount shall not be expended. If the actual cost exceeds this amount, it is the intent of the legislature that the department will request a supplemental appropriation.

(2) Prior to the expenditure of any funds budgeted for additional passenger-only service, the department of transportation shall obtain approval from the legislative transportation committee. If the additional passenger-only service is not approved, the funds appropriated in this section for that purpose shall not be expended for any other purpose.

(3) For the period from July 1, 1987, up to the actual implementation date of the 1987-89 biennial salary increase for employees under the jurisdiction of the state personnel board, none of the appropriations in this section may be expended to effect an increase in the hourly wage rates of ferry employees, as ferry employee is defined in RCW 47.64.011(5).

(4) The appropriation contained in this section provides for ((a)) the compensation of ferry employees, including increases. The expenditures for compensation paid to ferry employees during the 1987-89 biennium shall not exceed $105,210,000 ((~~and,~~)) plus a dollar amount, as prescribed by the office of financial management, which is equal to any insurance benefit increase granted general government employees in excess of $167 a month annualized per eligible marine employee multiplied by the number of eligible marine employees for fiscal year 1989. For the purposes of this section, the expenditures for compensation paid to ferry employees shall be limited to salaries and wages and employee benefits as defined in the office of financial management's policies, regulations, and procedures named under objects of expenditure "A" and "L" (7.2.6.2). Of the $105,210,000 provided for compensation, plus the prescribed insurance benefit increase dollar amount:

(a) A maximum of $678,000 may be used to increase ((~~salary~~)) compensation costs, effective January 1, 1988((, for the 1987-88 fiscal year so that the June 30, 1988, hourly salary rate increase shall not exceed any average hourly salary rate increase granted during the 1987-88 fiscal year; and a maximum of $2,145,000 may be used to increase salary costs, effective January 1, 1989, for the 1988-89 fiscal year so that));

(b) The prescribed insurance benefit increase dollar amount may be used to increase compensation costs, effective July 1, 1988;

(c) A maximum of $2,145,000 shall be used to maintain any 1987-88 compensation increase and may be used to increase compensation costs, effective January 1, 1989.

In no event may the June 30, 1988, hourly salary rate increase exceed any average hourly salary rate increase granted during the 1987-88 fiscal year.

In no event may the June 30, 1989, hourly salary rate increase ((~~shall not~~)) exceed any ((~~average hourly~~)) salary rate increase granted during the 1988-89 fiscal year.

(5) To the extent that ferry employees by bargaining unit have absorbed the required offset of wage increases by the amount that the employer's contribution for employees' and dependents' insurance and health care plans exceeds that of other state general government employees in the 1985-87 biennium, employees will not be required to absorb a further offset except to the extent the differential between employer contributions for those employees and all other state general government employees increases during the 1987-89 biennium. If the differential increases or the 1985-87 offset by bargaining unit is insufficient to meet the required deduction, the amount available for compensation shall be reduced by bargaining unit by the amount of such increase or the 1985-87 shortage in the required offset.

(6) The department of transportation shall provide the legislative transportation committee with a monthly report concerning the status of this program.

Sec. 14. Section 39, chapter 10, Laws of 1987 1st ex. sess. (uncodified) is amended to read as follows:

The motor vehicle fund revenues are received at a relatively even flow throughout the year. Expenditures exceed the revenue during the accelerated summer and fall highway construction season, creating a negative cash balance during the heavy construction season. Negative cash balances also may result from the use of state funds to finance federal advance construction projects prior to conversion to federal funding. The legislature recognizes that the department of transportation may require interfund loans or other short-term financing to meet temporary seasonal cash requirements and additional cash requirements to fund federal advance construction projects.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 15. A new section is added to chapter 10, Laws of 1987 1st ex. sess. to read as follows:

The department of transportation is authorized to undertake federal advance construction projects under the provisions of 23 U.S.C. Sec. 115 in order to maintain progress in meeting approved highway construction and preservation objectives. The legislature recognizes that the use of state funds may be required to temporarily fund expenditures of the federal appropriations for the highway construction and preservation programs for federal advance construction projects prior to conversion to federal funding.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 16. A new section is added to chapter 10, Laws of 1987 1st ex. sess. to read as follows:

With respect to the department of transportation appropriations for highway construction in programs A, B, C, and H, it is recognized that expenditures for transit benefit projects are approximately $150,000,000 of state and federal funds, of which significant portions pertain to construction on I-90. Transit benefit projects are those which construct or improve high-occupancy vehicle lanes, surveillance control and driver information systems, park-and-ride lots, flyer stops, and park-and-pool lots.
